Subject: RE: BS: RIP Charlton Heston (5 April, 2008)
I don't like trolls. I don't like folks that manipulate the conversation for perverse reasons. Here is what GG said:

There are many voices here against the private ownership of guns. Can you for once allow others who support the right to own a firearm hold an opinion.

Always some mouthpiece telling us their right, we are wrong.

I respected the man and his commitment to the freedom of ownership of firearms.

Talk until you go blue in the face, but the law will always support the freedom to hold arms.


That comment is totally within the context of what was established as the basis of the conversation. Many of you want the ability to denigrate his stand, or pull the old "he was a good guy, but his views on gun control....." routine. One cannot discuss Heston and his life, without dealing with the last years, and his NRA time. You all know I would whack THIS GG, or any other, if they were violating our rules. This was not a violation, nor was it a troll attempt, IMO.

Now, could we get back to discussing Heston and his life, as opposed to GG???
